Moveon.org and fellow travelers are trying with all their might to make this “Mother Sheehan” thing happen: Crawford War Protesters Lead Peace Vigil.

CRAWFORD, Texas - Hundreds of candlelight vigils calling for an end to the war in Iraq got underway Wednesday in a national effort spurred by one mother’s anti-war demonstration near President Bush’s ranch.

The vigils were urged by Cindy Sheehan, who has become the icon of the anti-war movement since she started a protest Aug. 6 in memory of her son Casey, who died in Iraq last year.

Sheehan says she will camp outside Bush’s ranch until his monthlong vacation ends or he meets with her and other grieving families.
